At approximately 2:39 p.m., Angel Stringfellow, 19, of Ogden, was driving a black 1997 Honda Civic southbound on I-15 near milepost 34 with a 19-year-old female passenger, also of Ogden, riding in the vehicle with her. The Honda was in the right-hand lane, passing a large passenger bus, when Stringfellow apparently lost control of the vehicle, according to information from UHP. The Honda slid off the right side of the freeway, traveled down a steep embankment and rolled into a large juniper tree. The vehicle came to rest on its left side, facing north. Neither Stringfellow nor the passenger was wearing a seat belt at the time of accident. Both were ejected from the vehicle as it rolled.

Stringfellow was pronounced dead at the scene. The passenger in the vehicle was transported by Life Flight to Dixie Regional Medical Center and is in critical condition at the time of this publication.

Speed, though not excessive, and poor tires on the front of the vehicle are being investigated as having possibly influenced the outcome of the crash.

“If worn, seat belts could have saved a life in this crash,” a statement from UHP said.

This report is based on preliminary information provided by law enforcement or other emergency responders and may not contain the full scope of findings.

About the Author

Cami Cox Jim got her start in journalism way back in third grade, when she published a crayon-and-pencil classroom newspaper in Mrs. Gifford’s class. She’s been a professional journalist (the kind that gets paid) since 2005. Cami and her husband don’t have any “real” children yet, so for now Cami takes in stray animals, unofficially adopts other people’s kids and maintains high hopes for her own children (of the two-legged variety) to come along in the future.

WHENEVER THERE IS MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE DRUG TESTS ARE TAKEN WHATS UP WITH THAT. WAS IT NOT DONE? ONLY IN UTAH!!!

Your a dumb b….*! You know nothing of the driver. She never touched drugs or alcohol, yeah it was dumb they did not have the seatbelts on and because of that little thing i lost my friend
*Ed. ellipses

Please do not assume you know the factors. I know this family well and they are grieving beyond anything you will understand. Your comments if seen by them only makes both families hurt worse. You do not know the truths or factors. Just pray for all involved.

I am a friend of the family of the girl who died in this car accident. Do not assume alcohol or drugs. That was NOT a factor. The world is so quick to judge teens or their parents for anything that goes wrong now days. It was an ACCIDENT not done intentionally. Suing an already grieving family does NOTHING. Angel was a beautiful and bright young lady and her mother is a good parent. Judge not.. Instead how about offering a kind word for both families or even a prayer. Poor judgement or lack of finances for new tires or whatever may have happened does not constitute someone slamming these young woman or her family. Also for the love of God don’t assume and publicly write such crap for them to have to read.
